Finding Seth Godin in Utah

Phil Burns wants to
bring Seth Godin to Utah to speak. That would be cool. Seth's
promoting his new book, The
Dip. Here's the deal (from Seth's blog):

In each city I'm able to get to, if you buy 5 books (in advance), you get to come hear me give a speech for free. OR, if you prefer to think of it differently, if you pay $50 to hear me speak, you get five books for free.

The catch is that before he'll commit to come to a city, 500 people
have to take the plunge (and, with it, The Dip--actually five of them).

Phil's set up a page at PledgeBank where you can pledge to buy five
books to get Seth to Utah. I've pledged. You should pledge too.
Any companies or organizations out there willing to buy books for
their employees? That would make this a lot easier.

Of course, this is just the sort of fascinating Internet marketing
that Seth Godin is famous for. An amazing way to sell some books
and, more importantly, get his message out. I probably wouldn't have
blogged about his book otherwise. And if he comes, I've got 4 books
to give away...
